Is this post a little cringe?

Yes….I know it, you know it. Hell, even your aunt Patty out in Nebraska who thinks you have really friends knows it.

But will you also remember the Military & Veteran Entertainment Awards are tonight?

Also yes.

Mission accomplished.

BLUF:

When: Tonight, May 23

Time: 5 PM PT / 8 PM ET

Where: Skirball Cultural Center, Los Angeles

How to watch: Watch live at mvawards.org

I’ll be live from the red carpet with the Military Influencer team, trying to act professional while surrounded by absolute legends.

LFG.

Who’s a white dude with great hair, big muscles, retired Senior NCO energy, Airman for life status, and his own podcast?

Well, duh. It’s me.

But apparently it’s also .

I cannot tell you how many people have walked up to me thinking I was Martin Foster. I’ll politely tell them they’ve got the wrong guy, and then they’ll double down like, “No, man, we talked about this last year.”

At that point, what am I supposed to do? Argue with a confident stranger? Absolutely not. I just laugh and accept that somewhere out there, Martin is getting credit for my work too.

Honestly, it works out great for both of us. There are basically two of us running around now, and we each get to take credit for the other one’s accomplishments.

Veteran networking, but with a pinch of identity theft.

But all jokes aside, Martin is one of my best friends, a brother for life, and getting to be on the red carpet together tonight is something we dreamed about nearly four years ago. Back then, I do not think either of us really believed something like this would ever happen.

Yet here we are.

I love you, man!

This event brings together veterans, creators, podcasters, YouTubers, filmmakers, actors, and storytellers who keep proving how powerful this community really is.

Your boy will be live from the red carpet, capturing the stories, the chaos, the legends, and hopefully avoiding at least three dad jokes in front of Gene Simmons.

Let’s get after it.

One day left until the Military & Veteran Entertainment Awards and somehow they are letting me near a red carpet with a microphone.

Tickets are officially sold out, which is incredible, but you can still watch the whole thing live at mvawards.org.

You can also catch the red carpet from my point of view on the Military Influencer Facebook and Instagram pages, where I’ll be live trying my best to look professional, hype people up, and en capture the stories that make our community so special.

This night is all about celebrating veterans, military families, filmmakers, creators, entertainers, and the people helping tell our stories in a bigger way.

The incredible ladies of .force.lv are in the house!

Fox Force is in Tampa for SOF Week with a mission that fits this community perfectly. Founded by women with backgrounds in military, law enforcement, first response, and special operations, Fox Force turns hard-earned experience into mentorship, training, leadership development, and practical confidence for women in everyday life. Their message is simple and strong: women’s development for all women. Together, we are a force. Great meeting the team and seeing that mission represented here at SOF Week.

The team is some of the best humans and leaders I’ve ever come across. Getting this book is a NO BRAINER. Five pages in and already hooked.

Comes out June 1st!

Less than a week from today, I’ll be joining the Military & Veteran Entertainment Awards on the red carpet for the 2nd Annual Awards Gala at the Skirball Cultural Center in Los Angeles.

This night brings together military and veteran filmmakers, creators, actors, entertainers, and allies helping change the narrative, with special guests including Dennis Quaid, Gene Simmons of KISS, and more.

Truly honored to share these veteran stories on a global scale, giving them the love and attention they deserve.

Hell yeah!

Something I did not expect in 2026...being asked to do media and red carpet interviews at an awards show.

Next Saturday, May 23rd, the second Annual Military & Veteran Entertainment Awards will take place in LA.

This is an incredible event that honors the Military Community working in media.

Thank you to Joe N' Cyndi Ramirez and Military & Veteran Entertainment Awards for this unbelievable opportunity.

When the story needs to be told, veterans step up.

I look forward to serving alongside Josh White from HeroFront Michael E. Vasquez, Surinder Goode, Ramon Torry, and our team lead Amy Forsythe to help capture the red carpet, interviews, and powerful moments from the night.
